Category Archives: sandwich

here are my eats for this week….been really working at saving money and making all of my edibles for work at home:

so there are my breakfasts..:

ok, so the fruit, i did not make at home 😉

there were my lunches:

this was my super veggie sandwich,

rudi’s 7 grain bread is amazing! if you have not yet tried….do so now! please 😉

i also made a super deluxe veggie wrap….although….this picture does not justify its super deluxe-ness….

oh and this….this was a lovely treat from my lovely husband….

he prepared it for me the night before while he was getting dinner together as i ventured home from school….in my beautiful new car might i add ;)..

oh but back to this….it was like a yam pudding heaven….and i was in yam pudding heaven when i ate it….it made work and school all better..and it was made with love from my love so i felt a sentimental value nourishing my body too.

kale smoothies that have been absent for way too long!

kale

mango

almond butter

and our dinners….which my man has been generously volunteering to make most of my busy school week…. what a nice guy!

beautiful tostadas and rice

veggie wraps including sauteed eggplant, zucchini and carrot with kobocha!

and a hot out of the oven flour-less chocolate cake!

some nights we had subway ..

some nights we did our own thing.. i did not take pics 😦

i made myself pasta last night..rye had leftover pasta i made him and salad

between work, school, the commute, the traffic, the homework, the fitness, & the alice….

well i just cannot seem to find much time anywhere in between!

monday morning i was up at 4- i decided to do some workout videos at home and skip the gym.

do you know that if you have “on demand” there are tons of great workout videos for free! (some better than others..just go fishing and take the good stuff.)

i did a 26 min. “legs and butt” by crunch gym…its so awesome!

i can tell it really works because not to long after my body demands food.

then i did a 23 min. abs..good stuff.

i have been trying to save money, so i made my coffee that morning! and it was so nice to finish a work out and just walk into the kitchen and be ready to move onto getting ready. (as opposed to driving to the gym..driving back..in the cold..in the dark..in a rush..)

for breakfast i did a mixer:

(couldnt decide..oatmeal or cereal..so why not both)

“better oats” packet with a bit of hot water (to get everyone acquainted)

unsweetened vanilla almond milk

365 honey morning o’s

weetibix crispy flakes

natures path smart bran…

delicious!

i was surprised when 11 came creeping around because i was surprisingly starving!

i figured breakfast would tie me over at least for a little longer but it was time.

sorry if these salads are getting boring but i really just cant get enough!

on my way to school i had a treat:

when i got home the kids were more than ready to eat..it was nearing 8..

they went to town..alice took a breather for a sec to check that dave didnt have anything special going on that she wasnt apart of:

did i tell you about my adorable cheese board!

well its so cute:

for din i threw down a quick and most scrumptious grilled cheese.. nice, simple and delicious!

have you had pop chips yet? it was my first try…they are really good!

and a little night cap before sleeping….sometimes i just cant sleep without something sweet to settle me down!

tuesday was very similar…i am sorry..same old same old….but it pleases me..if that makes any difference:

i brought my coffee..wohoo for me 2x in a row 😉

salad of course..this time with my fave sesame crackers!

i snacked on the amazing sumo tangerine on the way to school:

and for dinner i stopped and got baja fresh mahi tacos…. 😉 it was late..they were delicious.

ps the zevia is 0 cal. and its sweetened by stevia. it is really not bad. the root-beer is my favorite.

i was really craving a pre-made smoothie juice, i try to stay away from them for the most part because of all of the sugar but every now and then is fine. i felt really good after i drank it and it fueled me during a great workout.

rye was getting ready for his trip all day. hes leaving town for work for almost 2 weeks. he brought home these ‘healthy’ ramens. i was really not to excited about them, but i was wrong. i grew up on top ramen and always loved it..(i know its a terrible thing to admit)

this ramen hit the spot!

we threw in the leftover chinese from the night before.

the salads were huge..i couldnt even finish half of mine. but it was delicious!
